Group Kitesurf Lesson

soalsurf

When you come with a group of friends for a kitesurfing lesson or with your whole family, we definitely recommend group lessons – always fun and very educational!
In a group lesson, you’ll learn to kitesurf in exactly the same way as you would in a private or private-for-two lesson.
Your progress will be the same, so group lessons are not necessarily cheaper than private ones in terms of learning outcome.
If you compare them by time, yes – but in terms of how far you get, it’s about the same.

That’s why we recommend choosing the type of lesson that suits you best – not just based on price.
Book a group lesson if you’re coming with a group!
If you’re coming alone or with one other person, it’s usually better to book a private or private-for-two package.

A group lesson can only be booked with a minimum of 3 participants.
Maximum group size: 4 students per instructor per lesson.

Beoordelingen van de Group Kitesurf Lesson

Top, simply awesome! A great club with only kind people. I had a private (kite) lesson with Eline… If you already have some experience, she’s definitely recommended to help you advance.
After the lesson, I stopped by the shop and of course went home with some nice gear.
Thanks Soal for the great experience!

What an amazing location! A lovely spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing.
The water is nice and shallow, so you can stand far out – perfect for beginners. You can buy or rent gear in the shop.
Highly recommended!!!

Definitely recommended!!

Structure of the Group Kitesurf Lesson

Step-by-step plan Group Kitesurf Lesson Workum | Friesland | Netherlands | Europe A group kitesurf lesson with us lasts two hours. You’ll learn how to set up the gear, understand safety rules, body drag, water start & ride!

gaat bezorgen!

You can store your clothes and belongings in a locker – just make sure to bring your own padlock.
Our wetsuits, harnesses, and impact vests are replaced and cleaned every season.
Of course, you’re welcome to bring and use your own surf gear if you have it.
Once you’re suited up in a wetsuit, harness, impact vest, and helmet, you’re ready to start your kitesurf lesson!

The lesson begins with the IKO learning steps.
You’ll start with a spot check and setting up the kite on the beach.
Once that’s done, you’ll learn how to launch the kite and head into the water together with your instructor.

If there’s enough wind (12 knots or more), we go into the water with a kite.
If there’s less wind, we’ll practice real kitesurfing on the beach.
For these conditions, we’ve invested in special Flysurfer Peak kites, designed specifically for low-wind days.

Once the kite is in the air, we begin first piloting. The instructor hands over the kite, and you’ll learn how to steer it safely and in a controlled way.
Gradually, you’ll gain more control and become the boss of your kite!

You will learn:

  • the theory behind the wind window

  • how to launch and land the kite

  • how to walk with the kite/in the air

  • what happens when you let go of the bar or use the quick release

The next fun skill you’ll learn—once you’ve mastered the basics—is body dragging!
You’ll fly over the water from left to right, preparing for your board start.
Can you do this perfectly? Then we move on to real kitesurfing.
Before you know it, you’ll be up on the board riding from left to right!

The lesson is almost over. Together with your instructor, you’ll review what you learned.
You’ll receive feedback and tips for improving your kitesurfing and preparing for your next lesson.

At the end of the lesson, you’ll receive an IKO account and access to the IKO app,
where you can track your progress and later continue at any IKO-certified school.
Once you’ve completed all the steps, you can rent gear at any kitesurf school using your IKO certificate.
